Definitions
- the present invention is directed to the field of visual user interfaces relating to medical applications.
- Radiation therapy can be used to treat localized cancer.
- a radiation delivery system has an ionizing radiation device mounted to a movable gantry.
- the radiation delivery system controls the motion of the radiation device to direct an ionizing radiation beam to a specific point in space commonly referred to as the “machine isocenter.”
- One aspect of radiation therapy is positioning a patient so that the patient's tumor is located at the machine isocenter throughout treatment.
- Patient positioning systems use various technologies to locate the tumor, including optically locating visual markers applied to the patient's skin, or using X-ray analysis to locate metal fiducials subcutaneously implanted in the patient.
- a patient positioning system that provided information likely to assist the attendants in their tasks in a manner that is clear and easy to understand would have significant utility.

- FIGS. 3 and 4 show sample displays presented by the facility for the patient selection task.
- FIG. 3 is a display diagram showing a sample first display presented by the facility for the patient selection task.
- the user views a list of patients, selects a patient, and confirms the patient's information.
- FIG. 3 like most or all of the displays presented by the facility, contains a status panel 300 .
- the status panel is displayed in the same location in each display in which it occurs, with consistent contents.
- the status panel contains a number of task indicators, such as indicator 301 for a patient selection task, indicator 302 for an array positioning task, indicator 303 for a patient localization task, indicator 304 for a patient location tracking task, indicator 305 for a patient tracking system quality assurance task, and an indicator 306 for an optical alignment system calibration task.
- a task indicator is visually distinguished, such as being displayed in different color or shading, to indicate that it is the current task—here, indicator 301 for the patient selection task is visually distinguished, indicating that it is the current task.
- Each of the indicators can typically be selected by the user—such as by using a touch screen or other pointing device—to select the corresponding task as the current task.
- the user may similarly select a screen off control 307 in order to switch off the display screen.
- the status panel may include other information, such as an indication 308 of one or more software versions, an indication 309 of the user's name, and an indication 310 of the status of the system.

- FIG. 5 shows the patient's name 523 , as well as instructions 524 directing the user on how to position a patient tracking sensor array relative to a patient and a patient table supporting the patient.
- the display includes a diagram 525 representing the patient table, the patient, and the array.
- the display includes information about the position of the array relative to the machine isocenter in three dimensions and in angular rotation: lateral, longitudinal, vertical, and the angular rotation of the sensor array about the vertical axis.
- the display includes a numerical indication of the deviation from ideal position or rotation, such as longitudinal numerical indication 529 .
- Each numerical indication is typically displayed in a large, bold font, together with sign and units. Further, each numerical indication is typically displayed against the background color that indicates whether the corresponding value is within tolerance.
- the display of numerical longitudinal indication 529 against a background that is green rather than yellow indicates that the longitudinal position of the array is within tolerance.
- the display also includes a graphical indicator bar, such as longitudinal graphical indicator bar 530 that shows graphically how far the corresponding value deviates from optimal.
- a graphical indicator bar is typically displayed in a color that indicates whether the corresponding value is within tolerance. Because the longitudinal graphical indicator bar 530 is displayed in green, rather than yellow, the longitudinal position of the array is within tolerance. All of the displayed position and rotation indicators are typically updated frequently to permit the user to reposition the sensor array relative to the machine isocenter, and receive prompt feedback on his or her progress.
- the display also includes a positioning success indicator 543 , which indicates whether the array has been successfully positioned in all three dimensions. Because indicator 543 is displayed in green, rather than yellow, the array has been successfully positioned.

- the display also includes frequently-updated information obtained from the patient tracking system, such as the passive magnetic transponder localization system about the location of the treatment isocenter within the patient intended to receive radiation energy relative to the machine isocenter at which radiation will be delivered. This information is provided in three dimensions: lateral, longitudinal, and vertical.
- the information includes a numerical indication, such as longitudinal, numerical indication 629 ; a graphical indicator bar, such as longitudinal graphical indicator bar 630 ; and a time-distance graph, such as longitudinal time-distance graph 631 .
- the time-distance graph indicates the position in the corresponding dimension over the course of time.
- the graphical indicator bars are typically not scaled, so that they provide consistent feedback over time and across patients and technicians. In some embodiments, the time-distance graphs are also not scaled. When a particular value is within tolerance, all three forms of indicators are displayed in a first color, such as blue (e.g., the vertical value).
- each time-distance graph displays the value at times when it was within tolerance in the first color, and the times at which the value was out of tolerance in the second color (e.g., the lateral value). All of the displayed position indicators are typically updated frequently to permit the user to reposition the patient relative to the machine isocenter in order to align the treatment isocenter with the machine isocenter and receive prompt feedback on his or her progress.
- FIG. 7 is a display diagram showing a typical display presented by the facility for the patient localization task where the position in the patient is not to be later tracked.
- FIG. 7 is similar to FIG. 6 , except that a confirm control 735 is included in FIG. 7 , which may be selected by the user to complete the patient localization task.

- the display includes visual indicators for patient position in three dimensions: lateral, longitudinal, and vertical. For each of the three dimensions, the display includes both a numerical indicator, such as the lateral numerical indicator 826 , and a time-distance graph, such as lateral time-distance graph 828 .
- the display behavior of these indicators typically conforms to similar indicators shown and discussed above.
- the display also includes a stop control 836 for suspending the display and recording of patient position data; a resume control 837 for resuming display and recording after it is stopped; and an end session control 838 for ending the patient location tracking task and the patient's session.
